New-ish investor here, rate my portfolio

Hi, im a uni student currently in the UK on my final year. Technically I had started investing on December 2022 but back then it’s more trying to play around and see what happens. And because trading 212 has 0 commission fees or holding fees I just thought to throw 10 pounds in a bunch of companies that I think would do well and let things happen. However recently I have decided to go all in, seeing the recent dip in $VUSA (+10.34%) as the perfect entry point to dump most of my money into.

while I do have stable income (~450/month) it goes down after term time, however as I am pretty frugal I managed to gather enough money so my portfolio is not just scraps and pieces. Here’s the break down of my portfolio:

ETF: mostly my savings account that’s better but inaccessible on weekends, $VFEG (+10.18%) is there so if S&P shits the fan while I’m not looking I won’t lose everything, and if I am then that’s where the money is going at least temporarily. I am currently putting in at least 50 pounds into it per month.

Stocks: mostly a sandbox where I try out different things, hopefully majority of them are well informed. Though I will mention currently my stock portfolio is absolutely carried by $RHM (+5.69%)
$BA. (+4.84%) and $RR. (+14.75%) . Having bought them back in 2022. though not all decisions I make are winners for example selling $NVDA (+18.56%) and $AMD (+24.32%) on early 2023 fearing that AI is a bubble. You can’t win them all I suppose

in the future I’m looking for leveraged on S&P for example $3USL (+27.79%) but I will be putting in stop orders and/or keeping an eye on it actively. And of course to get a better job :P

please if you have comments about the portfolio feel free to do so

I don't give advice but I believe in 1-3 year European defense stocks.

Good luck

I’m looking for an advise

As a new investor I start my journey really late. I’m 43yo and I’m looking to create something in order to have additional income when I will retire.

For that reason, and after many buying/ selling I ended to these etfs:

$SPXS (+10.19%) - 40% (S&P 500)

$ISAC (+7.85%) - 20% (MSCI ACWI)

$MEUD (+6.88%) - 20% (EUROPE STOXX 600)

$VFEG (+10.18%) - 20% (Emerging Markets)

Can I have your ideas/ thoughts? I want to hold these etfs and dca on them. Thanks for your time.

P.S: The $VUAG (+10.16%) you see is on different account , savings separately for my kids.

I think that acwi and s&p are quite redundant since in acwi more than 65% is focused on American market. So this mean that you have like 50% of USA in your portfolio. So I think that if the idea was to slightly reduce the USA % of the portfolio than acwi imi, you did a great job. It will also be easy to manage during time!

The Brazilian Development Bank (BNDES) has extended a loan of 690 million US dollars from the China Development Bank from the China Development Bank. The funds are intended to support projects to promote sustainable infrastructure and renewable energies in Brazil. This financing reflects the increasing economic cooperation between Brazil and China, particularly with regard to the expansion of environmental technologies and infrastructure projects.

Further information can be found in the article on MarketScreener.

Hello dear Gequin Community,

I am currently working on restructuring my portfolio. Historically, I currently have a few funds and a number of individual shares.

I would like to switch the funds to ETFs and continue to save in them.

Classically, I would now select the following ETFs:

$VWCE (+9.57%) / $VHYL (+5.77%) and $VFEG (+10.18%)

Now my little thought experiment: Why should I limit myself to three ETFS when I could spread the whole thing much more widely? I have also thought about something like this (with smaller sums, of course):

Of course I have a few duplications here, but I am much more differentiated.

Does this approach make sense in your eyes or is it a modest idea?

Even if some disagree, sector ETFs are not a slice of the pie. It's just like a casino. You bet on a sector and hope to achieve an excess return. It can go well, but it can also go wrong. If you're aware of that, then it's okay. And why shouldn't you limit yourself to just three ETFs? First of all, what is your goal with more than three ETFs? You want to switch for a specific reason. Is that still the case? Do you want to go to the trouble of weighting the individual ETFs depending on what's going well or badly?

Hey Community,

I've been on the stock market for a good 4 years and have built up this portfolio. Some info: I currently have the following savings plans: 1000€ in the $IWDA (+8.51%) 100€ in $VFEG (+10.18%) 100€ in $ALV. (+5.84%)

In principle, my strategy/weighting is on the ETFs + additional build-up of solid dividend stocks. No gimmicks (anymore).

At the beginning my portfolio was a bit too US and tech-heavy in my opinion, I now want to "balance" that out with Allianz. The plan is to bring in another dividend stock in the next few months and play it with a savings plan (possibly $WM (+3.04%) or something European).

The thorn in my side is my purchase of Fastly, although I still believe in your company - that's why I'm holding it, because a performance with so much loss makes no sense.

What are your opinions? Thanks ✌️

Hi, I also took my first steps about 4 years ago. 😊 Realizing losses CAN make sense, but it doesn't have to. It depends on your intentions. And as long as you believe in the company, maybe it's okay.
I'll throw Walmart $WMT, Itochu $8001 and a Loreal $OR into the room as possible expansions. None of them are "chip shops" 😉 Best wishes for further successful investments.

Hello dear community,

I have been investing in a World ESG 40 Gold with Scalable Capital for almost 2 years now. So I use the Robo Advisor. Savings rate 50€ per month (I know, not much, but I'm still a trainee).

Now I'm thinking for a while whether I should not just cancel the portfolio and put my money on the $VWCE (+9.57%) should put. Thesaurriend, because I just want to save in the long term, >20 years, the ETF portfolio. I wanted to set the risk as central as possible, but also not too high. Savings rate for the portfolio to max. 200€ increase (there as said training and would be max. 20% of my net salary). I can live with that.

Before the question arises why I want to cancel the current portfolio: The costs for saving and switching through the Robo Advisor are simply too high for me, if you could keep the costs with a DIY portfolio simply lower. The portfolio has been in a steady low between -9 and -12% since early 2022. In addition, I am simply dissatisfied with some of the positions that the Robo Advisor has in the portfolio.

That's why my consideration. However, question is also, cancel right now or wait until the loss is less? I mean, the portfolio is still not soo huge with about 1,200€, and of it -47€ total return. I can therefore bear the loss. I'm just wondering if the tax allowance only applies to the profit or if I close the account and I'm above the tax allowance. Will I then trz all the taxes around and deducted from the 1,200 €?

Besides the $VWCE (+9.57%) I had considered adding around 20% EM in the portfolio. But I am still unsure, had the $VFEG (+10.18%) in the back of the head. So that would be 80/20. Later I would like to invest in (max.) 5 stocks, am also with Bitcoin am liebäugeln (just as a small gambler option, I know that Bc is very risky, so I would not put much in there).

Looking forward to your responses!

How do you come up with -9 to -12%? 47€ out of 1,200€ is "only" 3.9%...? If you think that your money will generate more elsewhere, it makes sense to switch directly. You don't pay taxes when you liquidate the portfolio as long as it is in negative territory. The $VWCE already contains 10% EM, so your allocation would not be 80/20, but (~) 70/30.
